The tattoos are yet to be officially priced but Shin said the ink itself may range between $50 to $100 USD.

The engineered product differs from what’s already being used in tattoos by placing small dye molecules within a larger molecule. Current ink is comprised of much larger molecules than what Shin hopes to offer.

Shin said the company has already developed ink in blue and red but plans on extending that range.

The product is currently undergoing further scientific trials after testing on cells and rats gained a positive result.

The company hopes to have the ink ready for commercial use by the end of 2018.
